The North Carolina/Belichick Thread 2025

[eball]

Hey guys — not sure how much interest there is in this topic on this particular forum, but I’m a Tar Heel alum living in Chapel Hill and despite my biases I think this is one of, if not THE, biggest stories of the upcoming CFB season.  It’s unprecedented.  Belichick and his GM, Michael Lombardi, have made no bones about calling UNC an NFL-prep program.  The school has raised its NIL game and I can’t wait to see what happens.  I think it has the potential to be a colossal success or spectacular failure.  Oh, and the 24–year-old girlfriend makes for great takes also. 😂

 

Anyway, feel free to comment as the season progresses.

 

I never thought the day would arrive when I would become a Belichick fan…

I would think it’s reward enough living in Chapel Hill. It’s beautiful around there.
 

Wouldn’t surprise me if that played into Belichick’s decision to take the job.

 

As far as how he does, I hope well just to annoy his petty detractors.

I'm just hoping that an opposing player from another team delivers a flying helmet shot to Belichick's head.

Immediately, Belichick starts emoting like Frasier Crane.  UNC stages 'My Fair Lady' as the Spring musical, Belichick in drag as Eliza Dolittle.

I'm waiting for Dabo Swinney to send his son Drew after her and whisk her away from Belichick.

He’ll just get another one. That’s just how it is for some people.

Very weird.  She is being cc’d on emails to Belichick, and it appears her primary “involvement” is in the area of social media and messaging.

 

Must-see-TV this year IMO..

I think they will have an ok, but uneven year.  Got to win that bowl game.

“Ok but uneven” is what they have been. If that’s all Belichick gets out of them the experiment has failed.

The ACC is so bad, they will have a path if they can make it work. But color me skeptical. The GF getting involved in day to day. Calling it the 33rd team, as in the 33rd NFL team. Newsflash, while these kids want to make money, they also still want to be kids. They can do that at most the other universities in the country. They don't need a military grade HC degrading them and running them into the ground pretending they're at the pro level. I don't think he will last more than a year or two and I imagine the carnage will end up being pretty epic.
